Baby grabbing during feeds
Hi, my almost 4 month old grabs my boob while breastfeeding. It’s very similar to cats kneading or making biscuits, but he’s really strong and it hurts. I have cuts on my boobs from his nails and how hard he holds on. I’ve tried to give him other things to hold (shirt, burp cloth etc) but did anyone else have this problem? What did you do to stop it?

Same here. I just hold his hand or cover as much as I can with a blanket or sweater. Just redirect his hand as much as possible.
My little boy does this too, I just hold his hand now and he grips my fingers instead. If he's scratching you could always pop some scratch mits on him before you feed maybe?

baby freebies?
What freebies are people finding? I plan on getting a lot of things from car boots and baby markets to help with costs but if there’s anything else i’d appreciate hearing about them! xx

How to stop contact naps
My 4 month old will only contact nap.
She sleeps in her next to me at night with a love to dream swaddle but during the day will only contact nap, she won't nap if we're out and not often sleeps in her pram.
I always tried to put her down but since 6 weeks old, everytime I put her down she would wake up and not go back to sleep.
How has everyone else done it because I would like to get stuff done now while shes asleep.
She's a velcro baby during the day anyway so I dont get time for anything till my husband comes home.

Lady bits
So I have a little girl my first born was a little boy. I’ve noticed when I clean her she still has a lot of the white stuff from when she was born in her bits. Is this normal?

How is it that most people’s toddlers/young children at the playground seem to have the cleanest clothes?! LOL (My child is 4 1/2 for reference)
I swear my child’s clothes managed to get stained the day they wear their new clothes. Somebody fill me in on the secret. & do you guys iron their clothes before you go out or do you iron them all at once? Why is everybody’s kid looking so damn neat lol I try really hard and barely have enough time for everything, but man ironing an outfit is just so much extra time that I don’t want to spare even though I do sometimes.
Also, what laundry detergent/hacks are we using to get rid of stains?

What happens if I don't BF for a day?
I have my friends wedding coming up but I can't take my 3mo along. I'm currently trying to build a freezer stash to feed him but not having much luck (getting 30ml a day if I'm lucky). My exclusively BF baby will spend the day with my mother in law being bottle fed (at this rate it will probably be formula) but I'm wondering, if I pump a couple of times throughout the day, will that be ok? I don't want to impact my BF supply but it'll be a busy day and I can't imagine spending hours in the loo pumping.
